Also what is the best way to get pictures from existing pdf documents? With power point etc I can just select the picture in Acrobat and then paste in but this does not work with Lyx. If you are on a linux machine you should find a program called pdfimages which picks either all the images out of the document or images on selected pages. The images are stored as files in the directory you run from. /johan -- Johan Ingvast, PhD student http://www.md.kth.se/~ingvast Department of Machine Design, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden http://www.md.kth.se, http://www.md.kth.se/~cas --- Walking robot proj tel +46 (0)8 790 95 36 mob. +46 (0)70 34 34 498

Excel Data and importing into Lyx
Hi all, I am currently working my arse off trying to get my Chemistry honours thesis written and I am wondering what the best way is to get tabulated data from excel into my Lyx Document. Also what is the best way to get pictures from existing pdf documents? With power point etc I can just select the picture in Acrobat and then paste in but this does not work with Lyx. = -: TOBY ALLEN :- As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality. -- Albert Einstein __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: Excel Data and importing into Lyx
When I was working on my thesis, I would save my Excel files as a .csv file and then open them with gnumeric. I would create an empty table in Lyx and then cut and paste.
